Ingredients

  • 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
  • 0.5 cup Brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a large baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip, then pat the meat dry.

  3. 3

    Whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a small bowl.

  4. 4

    Brush a thin layer of mustard over the ribs to act as a binder, then coat generously with the dry rub on both sides.

  5. 5

    Wrap the ribs tightly in foil, sealing the edges well, and bake in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

  6. 6

    Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and brush them lightly with apple cider vinegar to add moisture.

  7. 7

    Preheat your grill to high heat and sear the ribs for 3-5 minutes per side until a nice charred crust forms.

  8. 8

    Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing between the bones to serve.
